1 Information Weapon: Concepts, Means, Methods …
– Defensive:
Combat simulation software;
– Computer intelligence software in the telecommunications part of the
information space;
– Protection means of impact:
Antivirus software;
Intrusion detection and prevention systems;
Software for cryptographic protection;
Software testing and code analysis tools to identify malicious logic and
undocumented features;
Means of creating false objects and resources in the information space;
(3) Hardware means of impact:
– Offensive (hardware Trojans);
– Protection—REE element base technical analysis tools to identify hardware
Trojans and undocumented features;
(4) Physical means of impact:
– Offensive means:
Means of electronic countermeasures;
Means of electro-optical countermeasures;
Means of soft kill by electromagnetic radiation (EMR)—electromagnetic
pulse generators, SHF radiation generators, laser radiation generators,
etc.);
Means and systems of soft kill by deliberate electromagnetic effects (EHV
electric generators);
Biological and chemical means of impact on the REE element base,
current-carrying parts, and conductors (for instance, graphite bombs);
– Defensive means:
Technical intelligence equipment (including computer intelligence tools).
It should be noted that the technical intelligence equipment presented in this classification includes equipment for obtaining information about the enemy’s offensive weapons and ways to use them, which brings it closer to defensive information weapons. Technical intelligence equipment itself can have an impact on the
enemy’s objects both through passive actions aimed at obtaining information and
through active actions (attacks) aimed at creating conditions conducive to obtaining
information.
The classification scheme of the main means of ITIs is given in Fig. 1.5 [6].
Let us consider in more detail the principle of operation of the most common
means of ITIs presented in Fig. 1.5. Due to the fact that antivirus tools, intrusion
